Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh raspberries (plus extra for garnish)

1/4 cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

1/2 cup freshly squeezed key lime juice (about 4-5 key limes)

2 cups sparkling water or club soda

Ice cubes

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Lime slices (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Raspberry Purée: In a blender, combine the fresh raspberries and granulated sugar. Blend until smooth. For a smoother texture, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds.

    Mix the Lime Juice: In a small bowl, combine the freshly squeezed key lime juice with a splash of water (this helps to balance the tartness). Stir well.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large pitcher, mix the raspberry purée with the key lime juice. Stir until thoroughly combined.

        Assemble the Drink: In serving glasses, add a few ice cubes. Pour in the raspberry-key lime mixture until the glass is about halfway full.

          Add Sparkling Water: Slowly top off each glass with sparkling water or club soda, gently stirring to combine. Taste the mixture; adjust sweetness with more sugar or more lime juice as desired.

            Garnish and Serve: Add fresh raspberries, mint leaves, and lime slices on top for garnish. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy your refreshing drink!
